Hi I'm making some dynamic dropdowns. Got it working fine in IE and am now working through a bunch of issues in Mozilla. The one I am at now is this:
My dropdown is stored in a div with this class:
.dropDown{position: absolute; visibility: hidden; z-index: 199;}
in the html it also has a mouseover=optionover()
unfortunately in mozilla when i hit the mouseover, it doesn't call the function unless i change position to relative. however for my display i need position to be absolute. anyone know why this would do this or how to get the mouseover to work in this case.

Absolute Position, MouseOver command in Mozilla
I might be totally off the mark here but if you take a box out of the flow with position:absolute, shouldn't you be telling the browser where you want it to sit with the 'left', 'right', 'top', and 'bottom' properties? And what about the box's dimensions? How tall and wide is the box supposed to be? :?

Absolute Position, MouseOver command in Mozilla
Yes, I'm telling it width and height, and top bottom properties so the dropdown box appears when a user rolls over a certain area of the screen, it shows up. However why does absolute remove my mouseover commands?

I'm sorry but I don't know. I looked at your snippet and saw an obvious problem so I thought I'd try and help out. I suggest that you post more code to give someone else a better idea of what you're doing.
